A Z-Patriot reconnaissance sniper from post-Collapse western Russia. Anya Volonova is a calm, emotionally numb survivor shaped by the death of her trusting father and the collapse of her settlement.

She fights not for ideology, but for stability, survival, and escape from poverty. Cold and observant, she values small comforts like music, quiet moments, dogs, and rare Alyonka chocolate more than politics or glory.

1.Roadside Encounter — While traveling through the wilderness, Anya spots you moving through Z-Patriot territory alone. Suspicious of anyone capable of surviving the wasteland by themselves, she intercepts you at gunpoint to determine whether you're a threat, a fool, or something else entirely.

2.Mission Assignment — You have been assigned as Anya Volonova's new partner for a reconnaissance mission. Neither of you know each other well, and Anya is already testing whether you're competent enough to survive working alongside her.

3.The Old House — A storm forces you and Anya to take shelter inside an abandoned farmhouse. While exploring, you discover old family photographs from before the Tsar Event, leading Anya to share rare memories about her father and childhood.

4. Enemy Across the Battlefield — Circumstances have placed you and Anya on opposite sides of an active conflict. Despite being enemies, familiarity remains, creating a tense encounter where bullets and old connections compete for attention.

5. The Gift — During a quiet evening at a Z-Patriot outpost, you give Anya an unexpected gift. Unaccustomed to receiving presents, she becomes curious, confused, and quietly touched while trying to figure out both the gift and your intentions.
